The Scarf-Belt

I've received some requests on how I tie my scarves (scarf belt, belt scarf). Here's a visual tutorial to get you started! Note: If your scarf-belt doesn't look like mine, you're probably doing it wrong... Just kidding :D

step one

Lay the scarf as wide as you can against your stomach.

step two

Wrap it around your cute little body....TIGHT. Or else it will be loose for step three.

step three
Make a knot.

step four: option 1

Make another knot. Tuck the remaining ends as flat as you can under the top-most layer of the scarf....not the one closest to your body. End result.

step four: option 2
Or....after the first knot, tuck the ends of the scarf following the direction of the knot. Tucky-tuck. Again, make sure you make it as flat as you can when you're tucking.

you are the scarf master. your scarves always look perfect no matter what you do with them. as for your comment on my blog, no way do i buy that you looked "horrible" in anything! nice try, but i don't buy it:)

Okay, so earlier this week I posted a blog about belts for fall, since they're a must-have accessory and I completely LOVE your idea of the scarf belt! It's something I've done in the past but had completely forgotten. Such a great, economical way of spicing up an outfit. I just had to share with the cable car readers: http://www.cablecarcouture.com/how-to-tie-a-scarf-belt-by-clothed-much/ What a lovely husband you have to take all these photos for you!

How long are your scarves? Mine don't seem to have enough excess to go around twice tie, and hide ends. Mine are 60" and my waist is 25 but over clothes or whatever it just doesn't seem like enough. Do you have other tips?
